Isaiah 24

Common English Bible CEB

1 Look! The LORD will devastate the earth and destroy it, will twist its face and scatter its inhabitants.

2 It will be the same for the people and for the priest; for the slave and for his master; for the female servant and for her mistress; for the buyer and for the seller; for the lender and for the borrower; for the creditor and for the debtor.

3 The earth will be devastated, totally devastated; it will be destroyed, completely destroyed because the LORD has said it would be so.

4 The earth dries up and wilts; the world withers and wilts; the heavens wither away with the earth.

5 The earth lies polluted under its inhabitants, for they have disobeyed instruction, swept aside law, and broken the ancient covenant.

6 Therefore, a curse devours the earth; its inhabitants suffer for their guilt. Therefore, the earth's inhabitants dwindle; very few are left.

7 The wine dries up; the vine withers; all the merry-hearted groan.

8 The joyous tambourines have ceased; the roar of partyers has stopped; the joyous harp has ceased.

9 No one drinks wine or sings; beer is bitter to its drinkers.

10 The town is in chaos, broken; every house is shut, without entrance.

11 There is a cry for wine in the streets. All joy has reached its dusk; happiness is exiled from the earth.

12 Ruin remains in the city, and the gate is battered to wreckage.

13 It will be like this in the central part of the land and among the peoples, like an olive tree that has been shaken, like remains from the grape harvest.

14 They raise their voice; they sing with joy; from the west they will shout about the LORD's majesty.

15 Therefore, in the east honor the LORD; in the islands of the sea, the name of the LORD God of Israel!

16 From the ends of the earth we have heard songs: "Glory to the righteous one!" But I say, "I waste away; I waste away; I'm doomed! Betrayers betray; treacherously betrayers betray."

17 Terror, trench, and trap are upon you, ruler of the earth!

18 Whoever flees from the sound of terror will fall into the trench; whoever climbs from the trench will be caught in the trap. Heaven's windows will open, and the earth's foundations will quake.

19 The earth is shattering, shattering; the earth is shaking, shaking; the earth is teetering, tottering.

20 The earth trembles like a drunk and shudders like a hut; its rebellion weighs heavy upon it; it will fall, no more to rise.

21 On that day, the LORD will punish the forces of heaven in heaven, and the kings of the earth on earth.

22 They will be gathered together like prisoners in a pit, shut into a prison, and punished after many days.

23 The moon will be diminished, and the sun will fade, since the LORD of heavenly forces will rule on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, glorious before his elders.

1 Behold, the Lord will empty the earth and make it desolate, and he will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants.

2 And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the slave, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the creditor, so with the debtor.

9 No more do they drink wine with singing; strong drink is bitter to those who drink it.

10 The wasted city is broken down; every house is shut up so that none can enter.

11 There is an outcry in the streets for lack of wine; all joy has grown dark; the gladness of the earth is banished.

17 Terror and the pit and the snare are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth!

22 They will be gathered together as prisoners in a pit; they will be shut up in a prison, and after many days they will be punished.

23 Then the moon will be confounded and the sun ashamed, for the Lord of hosts reigns on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and his glory will be before his elders.
